Madina Village School has been approved for assistance from the Government of Sierra Leone, which has agreed to provide salaries for ten teachers and to provide basic textbooks.  A few textbooks have been delivered, but no other subsidies have been received.

School gardens provide some of the food items used in the feeding program.  Parents contribute small fees and products for the feeding program, such as wood, palm oil and chickens, but 90% or more are not able to provide the cost of education for their children.  Sponsorships of all children and teachers will provide the bulk of operational expenses.

When the health center is completed, fees will be charged to outsiders who receive services, excepting the students, staff and their immediate families.  These are not likely to completely support the expenses of the health center.
